My right honourable friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department (Alan Johnson) has today made the following Written Ministerial Statement.

The Home Office autumn performance report 2009 has been published today by Command of Her Majesty.

It includes our report against the 2007 public service agreements that are led by the Home Office. These PSAs ensure controlled, fair migration that protects the public and contributes to economic growth, make communities safer, reduce the harm caused by alcohol and drugs and reduce the risk to the UK and its interests overseas from international terrorism.

The report also provides an update on performance against the targets we set in the 2004 spending review that are still current. It shows that we have met our targets to reduce unfounded asylum intake and we are on course to reduce the harm caused by drugs.

Copies of the report are available in the Vote Office. The report is also available on the Home Office website.
